Planning is crucial for Shabbos. It’s nice to know what’s available.
I live in CT. Here a kiddush is served every Shabbos, BUT unless it’s a special simcha, it’s a cold Kiddush…herring, kichel, schnapps. Shabbos Mevorchim will also have kugel, salads and cakes.
Cholent is only served in the dead of winter to warm everyone’s body for a long, cold walk home (2 miles is the norm).
No bagels are served…that’s for every Sunday morning after minyan when a full breakfast is served and wives and children are welcome and an educational program included.
